Pity - they should have known though -
The main undercarriage unit is a clean design, but apparently not an example of good engineering, as undercarriage-related accidents happened all too often on Bf 109s.

Yeah, more 109s were lost in takeoff/landing accidents than were shot down. And a LOT of them were shot down. Old Willie must have been well connected politically to have kept this airframe in production so long- I once read somewhere that Galland requested that the 109 be phased out entirely in favor of the 190.
